Cowboys

A few weeks ago I posted a request for suggestions of western/cowboyoriented repertoire for a reasonably-talented church choir (SATB,20-or-so members) to do at a Saturday afternoon "fun" event (along withother folks doing other western things) at the church. Here are theideas that came in. If I get any more, I'll send an addendum.

=================================You may wish to take a look at the works of Ernst Bacon, an Americancomposerfrom, I think, California. In particular, "Colorado Trail", "JohnHardy" and"Shouting Pilgrim".

==================================There are some great old Norman Luboff arrangements of Streets of Laredo

and Poor Lonesome Cowboy that would fit the bill. I'm afraid I'veforgotten who publishes them, but it was a major company...should beeasy to find. You might want to check out some of "the old hymns" thatthe frontier folk would have sung.
